Visions du R\u00e9el is delighted to present a special focus on the Moroccan artist Meriem Bennani to mark the Swiss premiere of her film Bouchra<\/em>, co-directed by Orian Barki. On 24 April, the artist will discuss her approach during a public conversation with artist and filmmaker Valentin Nouja\u00efm, alongside a presentation of her films and video works.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Visual artist and videographer Meriem Bennani is known for her art installations and hybrid projects, which feature a light-hearted combination of globalised pop culture references and representations of Maghreb history and culture. A key figure of her generation, the Moroccan artist has held numerous exhibitions at prestigious venues including MoMA PS1<\/a>, the Whitney Museum of American Art<\/a>, the Louis Vuitton Foundation<\/a> and, more recently, the Fondazione Prada<\/a>. As original as they are unique, her films disrupt linear narrative patterns and place protagonists in new, imaginary worlds.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
